The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 54
Seeing her nodding, the prince immediately smiled, "When did you come back? I have never heard of it..."

The crown prince really didn't know about Song Jinyue's return.

After all, after he brought back the orphan girl, the entire palace was turned upside down.

No one else mentioned to him that the cousin was back.

"Return to Your Highness, the minister only came back two days ago." Song Jinyue's tone was light, showing a bit of indifference and alienation.

The prince was startled, he could see that this cousin was not as close to him as she was when she was young.

"I haven't seen you in a few years, but my cousin Tonggu is a little different."

"Your Highness, my aunt is still waiting for you."

Song Jinyue didn't want to say anything more to the prince's cousin at this moment, she just wanted her aunt to rest early after seeing him.

After all, my aunt seems to be sicker now than she was two days ago.

And these, how could the prince's cousin not know?

Then why do you still have to persecute your aunt for the sake of an orphan?

The prince didn't speak, and turned to enter the queen's bedroom. The queen was already wearing a big cloak and leaning against the soft pillow, with black hair scattered on her shoulders.

"Mother's queen." The crown prince knelt down to salute, and the queen looked at the son kneeling on the ground with mixed feelings in her heart.

The prince was taught by her to work harder than other princes since he was a child.

At the age when the prince next to him was playing, the prince had already followed the Taifu and began to study before dawn. When the prince next to him was eating, the prince was practicing martial arts.

When the next prince was out of the palace to play, the prince was learning Zizhi Tongjian.

The prince never cried bitterness or tiredness.

The young prince was very sensible, so he was loved by the empress.

But who would have thought that there is such a stalemate with the emperor and empress now.

"Mother, I'll ask you again, are you really unwilling to send that orphan girl away?" The queen sternly looked at the son kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely strange for a moment.

In just a few months, her son became a look she didn't recognize at all.

"Mother, these years, she has been lonely, well-behaved, sensible, and obedient to her words, but now... can't she obey her son once?" The prince's voice trembled, and he looked at the mother who was sitting on the couch.

Why doesn't he feel sorry for his mother?
but……

Telling him to give up is worse than killing him!
These years, he has been mature and prudent, and his world was as dead and silent as black and white, until he met her.Only then did he really understand the colorful beauty in the world.

It was she who lit a light in his dead life.

"Your father has already spoken to me today. If you insist on doing this, you will be deposed as a commoner..." The queen paused, lowered her eyelids to suppress the darkness in her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a little bit of anger in her eyes. Begging, "Are you serious, you want to give up your parents who gave birth to you for the sake of that orphan girl?"

At this moment, she is not the queen, nor is he the prince.

She is the mother, he is the son.

She asked him if he really gave up the love between mother and child for an orphan girl.

The prince was shocked, looked at the queen mother, and suddenly lowered his head, his whole body was filled with lifelessness.

He is a filial child.

He can do without the crown prince, but he can't do without his parents.

But on one side is the lonely and helpless sweetheart.

On one side are the parents who gave birth to themselves.

There was a moment of turmoil in the prince's heart, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Cousin Prince, I just returned to Beijing, and the huge Duke's Mansion is particularly deserted, why don't you ask that girl to stay with me for a few days?" Song Jinyue said aloud.

The eyes of the queen and the prince fell on her.

Now, what my cousin is worried about is that the orphan girl has no reliable place to live.

It's not that the queen has never mentioned that she wants to send her to the Zhangfu, but the prince refuses, because he is worried that his grandmother will not tolerate her.

But the government of the country is different.

Now the stepmother is in charge of the family, and the cousin is of high status, no one in the house dares to disrespect her cousin even if there is a change of servants.

"Cousin of the crown prince, even if he insists on marrying her, he can't just live in one place with no name and title. Cousin should also think about that girl."

Song Jinyue saw the prince's cousin's expression softened, so she knew that her idea had moved the prince's cousin, so she couldn't help continuing to persuade him.

The queen's expression suddenly eased, and she persuaded in a gentle voice: "What your cousin said is reasonable, you must not only care about yourself."

The tense atmosphere just now was dispelled in an instant.

"That's right, Your Highness, just let the orphan girl live in the Duke's mansion first, and your father's emperor's side. When the days are long, your mother's queen will also take care of her body, and then you can slowly raise her up." Mrs. Xie Seeing Prince He Yuanyi's expression moved, but he still had no intention of compromising, he hurriedly persuaded him.

The queen looked at the obedient son in front of her, who was so stubborn now that she couldn't listen to what she said, so she coughed violently in a fit of anger.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly stepped forward to support the empress, and looked at the prince, her brows were furrowed.Why is this nephew so stubborn now?

"Queen Mother, I just promise, don't get angry." He Yuanyi finally let go.

The queen let out a breath of turbid air slowly, panting heavily, her face became paler, she waved her hand to let the prince back down.

Song Jinyue saluted the queen again, and said that she would come back in the next day, and she would first go with the prince's cousin to take the orphan girl out of the palace first.

The queen complied naturally.

Seeing that the relationship with the crown prince has eased now, Xie took Zhang Dingzhi back first. Xie was not willing to let his daughter go back first to stabilize Mrs. Zhang, she would stay in the palace to guard the empress.

The queen just gave up and asked Mrs. Xie to stay for a few more days.

When Zhang Dingzhi and Song Jinyue arrived at the East Palace, the crown prince was waiting at the gate of the East Palace with the orphan girl.

Looking from a distance, wearing a pale moonlight Confucian jacket with a skirt, it looks spotless.

When she got closer, Song Jinyue was a little surprised when she saw that beautiful face and graceful figure, isn't she an orphan?

This whole body demeanor, how does it seem that he has suffered a lot?

Zhang Dingzhi naturally saw a clue, looked at each other with his cousin, shook his head, and said no more.

The crown prince gave the orphan girl a few more words. He was going to send the orphan girl to the Duke's mansion, but Song Jinyue persuaded him to leave with a few words, and told the prince to go back with peace of mind. She would never treat the orphan girl badly.

Zhang Dingzhi walked side by side with his cousin, and the orphan girl followed behind them, her head bowed, without saying a word.

There was no sound on the long palace road.

Walking all the way to the gate of the palace, they got into Zhangfu's carriage, and several people sat down.

Zhang Dingzhi glanced at the orphan girl, his eyes were full of disgust and he turned his head away from her.

Song Jinyue smiled slightly, and asked softly: "I don't know the girl's name yet, where does she live?"

The orphan girl looked up at Song Jinyue, and replied respectfully, "Yan'er, a folk girl, lives in Xizhen Village."

"At what age did your parents die? Are there any other relatives or sisters in the family?"

"Minnv's parents died when she was five years old, and she grew up relying on a lot of food. There are no relatives or sisters in the family."

Yan'er answered respectfully and neatly, which made Song Jinyue suspicious.

Such a thoughtful woman, is she really an orphan?

Song Jinyue asked again what she lived on when she grew up.
